I downloaded my DistroKid spreadsheet every month and I genuinely had no idea what I was looking at

3,000 rows. 47 columns. ISRC codes. Reporting periods. Store front breakdowns. Currency conversions. UPC numbers I've never touched.

Every month I download this file and every month I do the same thing — open it, scroll for 10 minutes feeling lost, then close it and move on with my life.

I'm an artist. Not an accountant.

Here's what changed: I created a tool that lets you just upload the spreadsheet and talk to it. Like having a Spotify and royalty specialized and trained expert that actually knows your royalty data.

I asked it "am I growing or shrinking compared to last year?"

It broke down my streams, revenue, and royalties by platform, territory, and track. Told me Spotify was up but Apple Music dropped. Told me my track from 2025 is still outperforming everything I released this year. Told me Germany is quietly my best territory and I've never once posted content targeting Germany.

That's the kind of thing that changes how you move.
